Dead Man Walking School Theatre Project
Adams State College
Alamosa, Colorado

The Dead Man Walking School Theatre Project was designed by Sister Helen Prejean (who wrote the book) and Tim Robbins (who adapted the movie and play) to "widen the circle of public discourse on the death penalty and to get young people involved through theater and the arts." What they learn from these productions will be used to produce the definitive Broadway version of the play. Sister Prejean attended the opening night performance of the play (April 21st, 2006) put on by Adams State College (ASC) in Alamosa, where a week of activities (art show, debate, symposium, etc.) engaged students and community members. Sister Prejean was excited about the response, she told Tim Robbins saying, "This was the dream! They're doing it!" No other community has participated in the play project as fully as Alamosa.

Letters From Prison

When a man convicted of a capital offence is not executed, he often faces life in prison. Since September of 1975, I have written letters to men who are serving long prison sentences. My collage tells the story of one amazing relationship that has endured three decades through letters, prison visits, long distance calls, and the slow passage of time behind the gray walls of hell. Special thanks goes to Vivia Lawson, Laura Murphy, Kathy Park, and Linda McGowan.
